What is the distance between the chuck and the lowest table setting? In other words how thick of a piece of wood could I drill excluding the bit.

The maximum distance between the chuck and the ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT table is about 7.5 inches. If necessary to get about 2+ more inches the ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT table may be swung around to the rear.

I can not find a size listed on the drill bit. Sorry for not being any help.

The length is seven inches overall and will drill to this depth minus the length in the drill chuck if you insert it right up to the chuck. It does depend on the soil in achieving this depth if there are stones or heavy clay then it will not drill beyond the obstacle.

It has a 1/2" capacity chuck, but depending on what material you're drilling into, capacity might be limited more by the motor than the chuck capacity. Most wood bits don't have larger shanks and if you try to fit a 3/4" metal bit, even with a step-down shank or a larger chuck, I don't think this would have enough power to even drill with it.

the bit is just slightly larger than the size of screw you are drilling for. If you space is tight, your chuck will probably be your biggest issue

Yes, I would thing if you fine a Jacob chuck you can use large size bitts, or drivers. I wouldn't go above 1/4 in metal or 3/4" in wood. Another drill to look at is the Festool CSX drill kit, it gives you several options.. but The Bosch is a great go to drill. Battery will last and last.

Tom, the chuck can take very very small bits. what will control the smallest but you can use is the speed and the pressure you have to apply in order to drill through whatever you're drilling. On the small tiny drill bits and I mean miniscule ones that go down to .03", you should use a small hand drill. the smaller drill bits will bend very easily so very little pressure can to be used when drilling. I hope this helps. Julio

I used it on a 1/2" thick MDO plywood. By the end of the cut, the friction heat build up was considerable. I think the problem would get worse if the material was thicker or harder. I would estimate for soft woods, up to 1" thick is the limit. Be sure to reverse the work piece and start from the other side when about half way through in order to get a clean cut on the reverse side. I initially used a Makita battery powered drill and I think it was too much for the drill. It went much easier with a heavy duty corded drill.

I think that a 1/4" bit will fit into the chuck, but the motor doesn't have the torque to push it through anything harder than wax. This machine is a sweet running little drill press, but it is seriously lacking torque. It is only for drilling very small holes in light or thin material. It took me several minutes to drill a 1/8" hole in 1/4" aluminum. Good machine for what it's made for.

I used this tool with a dremel and a ground down 1/4'' drill bit to fit a 1/8" chuck. I drilled over a 1000 holes in 1/4" and thicker leather. had no problems.

I use a 3/8" drill bit when drilling my hole. I believe the inside diameter of the hole is the same or very slightly smaller. Hope this helps! :o)

hard, hard question. You CAN chuck up a 1/2" drill bit in this machine. I think the problem will come in the drill speed. This machine DOES NOT SLOW DOWN much at all. the remarks of J. Sulivan are right on!! If I were trying this -- I would start with a small hole (1/16") and work my way up. Also you need to know that my experience in drilling glass is just about zero.

Thank you for your question. You would still need to lock the clamp from under the table. Once it is locked you can adjust the bit height with the above table hex T-wrench. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).

This is a quality machine that I use for woodworking. I have drilled a variety of holes with brad-point, Forstner, and twist bits with success. I have not measured the runout since all of my results have so far been satisfactory. The smallest diameter bit I use is a 1/16" twist bit which is held securely.

From the face of the tool chuck to the back of the angle drill is one & nine/sixteenth inches (1-9/16"). From the end of the inserted phillips bit to the back of the angle drill is one & three/quarters inches (1-3/4"). It is very small. It even surprised me that is would fit into a phillips bit that only has (1-3/4") clearance. Hope this helps.

It's a regular 1/2 chuck that is keyless. It will take all bits up to 1/2". Hex shank is better cause they won't slip as round shank will but all will work. Very good drill compared to the old DeWalt 18v I had. Strongly recommend

it is not a chuck, it takes 1/4" hex. To drill, you need that type of bit. It is a really well made and thought out item.
